Is the library open to the public?

Yes, while our primary mission is to serve Anoka-Ramsey students and staff, we also serve the community. With proper identification, community patrons who are at least 18 years old may obtain a "community" card and borrow circulating materials.

May periodicals be checked out from the library?

In general, periodicals remain in the library. However, with authorization from library staff, Anoka-Ramsey faculty and staff may check them out for a limited time.

Will I be fined if my books are overdue?

There is a $5 processing fee for each item ten (10) or more days overdue.

How many items are in the library collection?

The Cambridge Library has approximately 30,000 items, and the Coon Rapids Library has approximately 45,000 items.

The ARCC Libraries wish to provide a friendly and welcoming place for quiet and group study, research, and learning.

“I chose Anoka-Ramsey because I knew I wasn't ready academically, mentally and independently for a four-year university, and I knew that Anoka-Ramsey would support me. Anoka-Ramsey has helped me develop in my personal and academic success.”
